Recently I asked my wife if she believed in the existence of Satan

Recently I asked my wife if she believed in the existence of Satan. She said not in a literal sense, but that the concept embodies social chaos and destruction - lies, deceit, harm. I was reminded of a conversation I had 25 years ago with a close friend, a professor of developmental psychology, after I had finished a clinical practicum working with inmates in a federal penitentury. He asked me if I thought anyone was truly evil, and in my youth I said no; that everyone has some redeeming positive quality.

Over this last week I have read postings from some of the contributors here to you, and some of your postings, and it gave me thought to review that old question. I got out the notes I have been keeping on you for two years and went over them, which led me to question my wife.

I decline to proffer a diagnosis of your mental state. That would be unethical. Without slander or libel I am free to call you a liar and a cheat. The evidence exists at ftp.ftn.org/evolution/liars.

I and some other posters here am acquainted with pain. You enjoy it vicariously in myself and others. Recently, Curtis Johnson responded to one of your silly attacks at me by saying that I probably pity you. I do not. I despise you. I find no worth in you as a human being whatsoever, and whatever qualities are lumped together to construct the mythical figure of Satan are all found in yourself.

I will continue to debunk you because as Edmond Burke said, "Evil triumphs when good men say nothing." So I shall continue from a sense of duty to humankind, just as years ago I separated the body parts of small, dead children from wrecked autos after some drunk had whimsically declared himself capable of driving. Please do not think for one second that I am debunking you for any other reason. Not one post I have ever seen from you contains a grain of truth or honesty.

I shall fulfill my promise to have my children read a creationist textbook because I want them to find out now that there are people like yourself that would strip them of their intellect and innocent desire to learn truth, and then rape them with the perverted seed of creationism. I want them to know that beyond the humour in your self-ridicule there is a depth of evil that is unsurpassed in the most hardened criminal.

I care not whether you seek mental help. You are there; I am here. As long as you continue to spew in public I will be there to show the dishonesty that oozes from every pore of your wretched body.
